With the disease\ncalled osteochondritis dissecans, the bone below the cartilage is disturbed. As\na result, the affected area can partially or completely separate from the rest\nof the bone. The bone-cartilage fragment can then be found as a loose body\nwithin the knee joint, leaving behind a cartilage-bone defect than can lead to\nearly arthritis and pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osteochondritis\ndissecans is most likely caused by repetitive microtrauma and decreased bone\nblood supply. At the early stages, pain can be mild and nonspecific and is\nusually related to activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osteochondritis\ndissecans can affect the knee joint, the ankle joint, and even the elbow joint.\nThe knee joint, specifically the area of the medial (inner) part of the femur (thigh\nbone), is most frequently affected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early-stage lesions in\nyoung children can heal spontaneously with activity modification and refraining\nfrom impact sports and jumping and running sports. In more advanced stages,\narthroscopy and retrograde drilling (drilling through the subchondral bone\nlamina from outside the knee joint) can increase the healing rate and stimulate\nregeneration: through the holes, vessels and stem cells enter the necrotic area\nand can thus rebuild the bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In cases of partial\ndetachment of the cartilage, arthroscopy and refixation with self-absorbing\npins can be necessary. When the cartilage has detached completely, the lesion\nneeds to be stabilized and covered with synthetic tissue or cultivated\ncartilage tissue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
